TikTok Safeguarding Alert from NHS England
NHS England, have contacted schools to warn that two young adults with a wide following are encouraging self-harm on TikTok.
They appear to be engaging with vulnerable young people.
They have asked that we remind parents/carers as the bill payers of any mobile device, of their responsibility to monitor the content of devices, and to share any safeguarding concerns.
